Re: Which Duncan soapbar models existed in 1993 ? You are correct, sir!

Of the P-90 pickups currently offered by SD, which were around in the early 1990s? I'm hoping to ID the Duncan(s) in this story: http://www.abalonevintage.com/abalone_vintage_guitars_celebrity_clients_ty_Tabor_kings_x_zion_Fender_stratocaster_elite.htm "In 1993 I was approached by Ken Hoover...

Does the Quarter Pound for jazz bass have a larger-than-normal case/housing? I tried installing a set in a Squier Jazz (Standard series, not Affinity) just before Xmas, and though the neck pickup went in fine, the bridge pickup hole would need to be routed 1-2mm in every direction for the QP...

So, I have recently come into possession of a Squier Vintage Modified Jazz (natural finish, maple fretboard), a Squier Standard Jazz (black w/ white pickguard), and the neck from a Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Fretless (lined "Ebanol" fretboard). The idea is to part together a Squier...

Picked up a last-in-the-building $399 stereo Valvetronix head at GC last Sunday. The amp models and effects all seemed to work properly and sound decent in the store, even through the stock 2x12 cab. After a week of tweaking, I gotta say: this thing is either broken or grossly...

Today I was looking at a strat style body top routed for 3 humbuckers and I got to thinking -- would there be a significant change in the available range of tones if one were to angle a set of single coils / \ / or / | \ instead of the standard / | | , or would it just look nifty? :banana:

Somehow I've managed to play guitar for 16 or so years without having to know this: Are power amps designed/marketed for use in guitar rigs (Marshall, Mesa, Rocktron, Tube Works, ADA, etc.) voiced differntly from power amps for use in PA systems (Samson, Carvin, Carver, Peavey, etc.)? Or are...

The good news is that changing the Vox's preamp model ~does~ affect its power amp stage, and thus the sound of the Line 6 plugged directly into the fx return. Switching from the AC15 model to the 'Black 2x12' model to the 'Tweed 1x12' really did make significant changes in how the POD's signal...

Today I came across an old (no porting) Genz Benz vertical 2x12 cabinet in which someone had replaced whatever the original speakers were with a pair of Mesa Black Shadows labelled "V12". The cabinet is open behind the top speaker, closed behind the bottom speaker. Any ideas what this thing...

http://www.carvin.com/namm2006/?day=19 "Since before its release as an amp head, we had a large number of requests for a V3 combo. This is the debut of the V3 in a 2x12 combo. These are non-working prototypes. However, our sales staff have been instructed to take advance orders."

Reading through the manual, I noticed that the master volume and 'Valve Reactor' power amp modelling (supposedly) come after the non-virtual effects loop. Does this mean, as it seems to suggest, that if I were bypassing the Vox's internal preamp section by running guitar -> external preamp...

from a Harmony Central review of the Fender Ultimate Chorus: "i also recently put a behringer mic200 tube preamp in the effects loop. that gave it a nice creamy tone when tweaked right. now with the tube preamp in the effects loop the amp sounds alot sweeter even without the preamps. if you own...

RG100SC-G2 100w 2x12 combo w/stereo chorus $487 @ MF / ZZounds RG75-G2DFX 75w 1x12 combo w/digital fx $412 @ MF RG75-G2 75w 1x12 combo $375 @ MF / $359 @ ZZounds RG200-G2 200w 2x12 combo $299 @ MF I don't get it -- do you really have to give up an extra $180 (and 100 watts!) to get stereo...

So, I convinced myself that a I need a new multi-channel combo for bedroom practicing and maybe some light recording, preferably low wattage and/or SS so I don't need to make with the neighbor alienating volume to get decent tone in the middle of the night. I'd also like if it had a stereo...
